If you haven’t experienced Broken Spoke Saloon yet you are missing out. I call it the Disney of biker bars. The beautiful, majestic oaks that give the gift of shade to the masses, also house the twinkling lights at night making it a magical place. Every day bike shows, car shows, a bikini contest, or bands, keep the property hopping. 1st Saturday it was the Rat Rod Bash, 1st Sunday Warren Lane’s Antique Gathering, Tuesday Cycle Source Custom Bike Show, Wednesday Perewitz Custom Paint Show, Friday Dennis Kirk’s Garage Build Bike Show, 2nd Saturday the 1st Miss Broken Spoke Bikini Contest (featured in the May issue, photos can be viewed at Thunder Roads Florida Facebook), and the 2nd Sunday a Vintage Car & Bike Show. Day and night bands including the famous Hairball, ROCK the huge property. Other bands included Bobby Friss, Loose Lips, Kiss America, Stone Senate, and Buckshot. A favorite of all who visit the Spoke is Southern Country Customs with their amazing builds, Rusty & Steve Wallace are often onsite to answer questions and even sign an autograph or two! Of course, beautiful bartenders are happy to sling a cold one or pour up your favorite spirits. Add to all that Bike Week and Biketoberfest the bands signed guitars that went up for auction to raise much needed funds for the Veterans Support Fund and for the Saddle Up for St. Jude’s event in April. Have to love a bar that works hard to show the people a good time and finds time and energy to help good causes!!
